Genki English CD software

Genki English CDs "Be Genki" software!

Put the Genki English CDs in a CD player and you have the amazing songs, but put the same CD in a suitable computer (most Windows machines and newer Macs) and you get to the new "Be Genki" software....
( New: if you want to try the games section of this sofware yourself, have a look at our learn Japanese or learn Korean pages.)

On the Genki English CDs, each song has a menu bar like above. By clicking on "words" you get the list of words used in the song. Here's the one from CD vol. 1's "How are you?" song.

Moving over these words makes the picture of our mascot, Aygo, change, and you hear the word spoken. Great for teaching kids correct pronunciation from the start! There are several recordings for each word, the kids want to practise more so they hear all the sounds!

Next is the Mini-Lesson for each song.

In a 2 minute little animation I go through and teach the kids the new words for the song! If you want to see the Genki English method in action, try this out! It's also great for the kids to practise at home. And of course the version on the CD has high quality sound to get the best out of the kids!

Next is the song!

Now for each song there are illustrations & animations to go along with the song. If you have a computer (or a projector!) in the classroom, try playing the song from here, it adds a whole new atmosphere!!

Click here to see a demo of the "Doctor, Doctor" song!
(Note that in order to make this demo version load quicker over the net, the sound quality has been reduced. But don't worry, it's full quality on the CD!)

Now try the game...

Each song has its own little game where kids can practise the song. The kids listen to some English and have to give the correct answer. All the questions are random so the kids can play for ages without getting bored. These games are all really simple, but that's why they work so well! We often have to drag kids away from the computers when we do live events as they want to play so much! And of course, whilst they're playing they're getting loads of English practise!

And finally the Karaoke Section

This is the same animation as used for the song, but this time there is no voice, the kids have to sing along! This is a great little bonus idea, and it works great!

So there you go! If you're a teacher, the software is a great way to add an extra bit of excitement in the lesson, and it's a great way to motivate kids who are more into computers than jumping up and down. Either way the kids will be exposed to loads more English! We've done the hard work for you, you sit back and see the rewards!

You can order the CDs now on their own or as part of the CD set.

Or here for International Orders

And of course if you have any questions, please get in touch!

Be genki,
